The second full season since the re-built Liceu opened runs from October to July and features co-productions with a number of top flight European opera companies including a visit in November by Opera North who will perform Cunning Little Vixen and Gloriana.

The theatre has a policy of extending their number of performances with two casts; the first more international in flavour and the second made up of local singers.

In December Richard Eyre's Covent Garden production of La traviata features Ruth Ann Swenson as Violetta and Marcus Haddock alternating with Carlos Alvarez and Juan Pons as Alfredo.

In March Sylvain Cambreling conducts The Salzburg Festival/Capitole de Toulouse's controversial staging of Katya Kabanova. Richard Bonynge conducts Donizetti's La favorita in April: a new co-production with the Teatro Real in Madrid.

In June the Liceu presents Tristan und Isolde with an excellent cast led by Deborah Polaski, Thomas Moser and Falk Struckmann.

Barcelona is now one of the top short break destinations. A visit to the Liceu makes an excellent focus for a weekend or longer in this chic city full of fascinating art; a pleasure to stroll in and admire the buildings of Antonio Gaudi. You may also wish to include a concert at the Palau de la Musica. Please mention this at time of booking.
